What are the two key chips or chipsets on a motherboard?
Outside of the CPU and the memory, the two main chips on the motherboard are the Northbridge and the Southbridge. Traditionally, the Northbridge contained the AGP controller, the memory controller, and the bus to the CPU. It is also connected to the Southbridge which is connected to the peripheral bus, the BIOS, the front panel, the keyboard, sound, and the hard drive controller. So functionally speaking, the Northbridge is closest to the CPU and the memory, and the Southbridge is closest to the user.
What is ATA bus comntrol?
The IDE/ATA bus controller manages the flow of information between the hard drive and the rest of the computer. At this point in time, The IDE/ATA bus controller is typically built into the motherboard so hard drives can be connected directly to the motherboard.

When 2 drives are connected to the same data cable connected to an ide?
This is quite normal. IDE stands for Intergrated Drive Electronics. It basically means that most of the drive controller electronics are on the disk drive itself. You can connect 2 drives to one cable. One will be set as the master drive and the other will be set as the slave. The master drive then controls itself and the slave drive. The setting for slave/master is normally done by small connectors joining a pair of pins together called jumpers.

What are special purpose chips and electronic circuits that control the transfer of data instructions and information from a disk to and from a systems bus and other components in the computer?
This sounds like a disk controller and possibly an I/O port. A disk drive has to have a controller. The controller is connected to the system bus or the southbridge chip, and that is how it is connected to the rest of the system. The controller uses a driver to tell the operating system how to communicate with it.If you mean further back than that, then you may be referring to the chipset chips. There is a northbridge and a southbridge, and it is the southbridge that connects to the peripheral bus and to any disk controllers.
